A newly surfaced video appears to show US President Joe Biden leaning toward kissing a woman who is not his wife, Jill, before she steps in and redirects him. The undated footage captures Biden engaging with a woman dressed in a blue suit.
As the conversation progresses, the 81-year-old US president leans towards her as if to kiss her, prompting Jill Biden to intervene and guide him away from the interaction. The incident has reignited chatter on social media about the mental acuity concerns about the US president.
OMG Joe thought that woman was Jill.She had to run and show him it wasn’t her. Watch his face.

‘Keep going Joe’
Social media reactions have been mixed, with some users expressing amusement over what they see as a harmless mistake. Meanwhile, others voice concern about the implications of such actions for a sitting US president.
“Keep going Joe! Only you can save American democracy! By ensuring a MAGA top to bottom landslide,” wrote one of the Republican supporters on social media platform X. Another said, “If Joe can’t tell who his wife is, what is he doing making any decisions for the Country?”
Yet another user wrote, “It is a little crazy, but not so crazy. Keep him in the race.” This video coincides with reports from several media outlets suggesting internal discussions within the Democratic Party about Biden’s future in the 2024 presidential race.
Reports suggest Biden, aged 81 and recently diagnosed with COVID-19, may consider stepping aside under pressure from prominent party figures, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and former President Barack Obama.
Citing several people close to the president, the New York Times reported that Biden has begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win the Nov. 5 election and may have to drop out of the race, “The New York Times reporting is absolutely wrong,” Biden campaign co-chair Cedric Richmond told MSNBC. “The president has said that he is running and it’s the end of the story.”
